AirAsia (Thai AirAsia and Thai AirAsia X) is restoring international routes it had cut during the high oil-price period, with a network of 53 routes to 46 cities from Don Mueang for the 2026 winter schedule. Japan flights (Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo, Nagoya) start 1-2 October, and India, Kuala Lumpur and Almaty routes return from 25 October to 17 November. For SMEs in tourism, travel services, or inbound-tourism supply, this signals more seat capacity from Don Mueang into Q4 and early 2027 high season, especially to Japan and India. Oil-driven route cuts show airlines trim capacity when fuel rises, so watch fare and capacity moves.
